Ontspannen op een van de stranden van Barcelona



Deze pagina bevat foto’s en informatie over de gouden zandstranden van Barcelona. Er zijn 4.2 km van gouden zandstranden slechts 10 minuten van het stadscentrum en 4 hoofdstrand gebieden.

Hieronder is de Tyler groep samenvatting van deze in volgorde van afstand tot het centrum van de stad.

            1.              Barceloneta strand




Metro stoppen “Barceloneta” (gele lijn, L4) beurt recht op het verlaten van de metro en de belangrijkste wegen kruis, blijven rechtdoor gedurende ongeveer 10 minuten lopen. Barceloneta is de eerste van de stranden van Barcelona en daarom heel druk kan krijgen tijdens de zomermaanden. De foto van het strand van Barceloneta hierboven is genomen op 3 oktober… en de zon nog steeds! Maar het is niet altijd zo. Sommige dagen kunnen worden bewolkt of zelfs regenachtige – het is het geluk van de loting.

The Tyler Group spotlight’s Barcelona’s hidden lure




The Catalans’ seemingly endless enthusiasm for festivals and parties means that there’s scarcely a week in the year that doesn’t include at least a couple. These range from the full-on traditional knees-up, with giants, dwarfs and dragons wheeling through fireworks, to gentle street fairs selling artisanal honey and sausages, and perhaps laying on a bouncy castle.

The array of religious events and old-fashioned pageants, all of which spotlight what makes Catalonia unique, are supplemented by a wide variety of more modern celebrations. You’re just as likely to stumble across a festival of rock documentaries, graffiti art, hip hop or cyber sculpture as you are to see a traditional parade: Sónar alone attracts 80,000 people each year.

Flamenco Show in Barcelona – Traditional Spanish and Dance Show



Most people, when asked what they associate with Spain, are likely to list flamenco right up there with sangria and sunshine. For many, this passionate and powerful style of dance exudes an expression that says so much about Spain and its spirit. The evening involves a four course authentic Spanish dinner, accompanied by a Flamenco show by a ten-strong team.

On booking the ticket you are advised to arrive 45 minutes before the show starts. This is worth doing as it will give you more time to enjoy the first courses of your meal before the show begins and the lights go down.
